INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE UNICORN POOP COOKIES
Making these incredibly cute cookies is much easier than you’d think! Just as I did with the ingredients, I split the directions into four main sections: the cookies, the frosting, the ganache, and finally decorating (aka putting it all together).

Step Two: Make Cookie Dough

- Gradually beat in the dry ingredients into the wet until a soft dough forms
Step Three: Bake
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the cookie sheets
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until a light golden brown color
Step Four: Cool
- Allow the cookies to cool completely.
To Make the Frosting
Step One: Combine Ingredients and Beat
- Using a standing mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy whipping cream until
- combined, smooth and holds a peak
Step Two: Add in Icing Bags
- Scoop 1 cup of frosting into the piping bag with the star tip
- Scoop the remaining frosting into the other piping bag
To Make the Chocolate Ganache
Step One: Simmer
- Using a small pot, bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer
Step Two: Pour Over
- Pour over the chocolate chips in a small bowl and let stand for 1 minute
Step Three: Whisk
- Whisk until smooth
Putting It All Together
Step One: Pipe 1st Frosting Layer
- Pipe a thick layer of frosting onto the top of the cookie and smooth evenly.
Step Two: Add Chocolate Ganache
- Scoop some chocolate ganache onto the center of the frosting and lightly spread
Step Three: Add Second Frosting
- Pipe a small dollop of frosting on top of the ganache
Step Four: Add Sprinkles
- Sprinkle some of the sprinkles on top.
Step Five: Add the Horn and Ears
- Place the unicorn icing horn and ears from the decorating kit into the center of the frosting.
Step Six: Let Set
- Let cookies sit before serving for about 15 minutes so the icing and ganache will set.
And that’s it! You’re done! Aren’t they super cute?!
